How to Use Social Media to Grow Your Mailing List

There's no way to escape using social media for your business. What happens if you cannot post on any of your accounts for weeks at a time? You will need a mailing list. Don't be the business owner that fails to build a mailing list to keep in contact with your audience and online followers. E-mail marketing is a great way to "stay in the face" of your potential clients.

Use your social media platforms to build your mailing list everyday. This takes time but it's so worth it because you own your list and you can use it for the benefit of your business. Build your e-mail list with fidelity so that you can cater to people who are directly interested in what you have to offer. 

Here's what many online marketers will not tell you - your followers are not seeing all of your posts. Don't feel overwhelmed if you're not receiving as many likes and follows. Your e-mail list supports you in actually reaching people who need your message.

E-mail marketing is almost the next best thing to word of mouth. But, we rarely talk about it. Have you noticed how big businesses are asking for your e-mail when you're at the checkout counter? Perhaps you wake up to dozens of e-mails from your favorite brands in the morning. You should be doing the same thing.

Use social media to help build your mailing list by creating an irresistible opt-in offer. Why should people subscribe to your list?
